Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) beef stew meat
Vegetables:
- 1 onion, diced
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine tender beef chunks with aromatic diced onions in a slow cooker, creating a rich base for the hearty meal.
- Pour cream of mushroom soup, sprinkle dry onion soup mix, and drizzle beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the meat mixture.
- Gently mix all ingredients, ensuring the beef is evenly coated with the savory liquid blend.
- Season with a delicate balance of salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
- Set crockpot to low temperature and allow the beef to simmer slowly for 7-8 hours, or use high temperature for 4-5 hours until meat becomes fork-tender and succulent.
- Once cooking is complete, the beef will be incredibly soft and infused with deep, complex flavors.
- Carefully transfer the beef tips and luxurious gravy over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or tender egg noodles.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions for an added touch of brightness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Tough meat cuts transform beautifully in the slow cooker, becoming incredibly tender and flavorful after long, slow cooking.
- Cut beef into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Consider using low-sodium broth and soup mix to control salt levels, especially for those watching sodium intake.
- For a gluten-free version, replace cream of mushroom soup with cornstarch-thickened homemade mushroom sauce and use gluten-free onion soup mix.
